Burnaby movers who know Metrotown and Brentwood tower rules, elevator bookings, and the Deer Lake detached streets. One flat rate, confirmed by a real person.
Every Burnaby quote is a flat rate scoped to your move: what you own, the access at both ends, and the distance between them. No hourly meter ticking while the elevator's stuck.
Scoped to your move
No one-size price list. Your rate reflects your inventory, your stairs, your parking, and your kilometres.
Confirmed by a human
Someone who has carried a couch up a Vancouver walk-up reviews every quote before it goes out. The price we confirm is the price you pay.
If plans change
New couch? Extra stop? We review the price with you before move day. Nothing changes without a conversation.
How Nash moves you
Crates first. Furniture second.
Every Burnaby move packs the same way: our uniform tubs fill the truck floor to ceiling, wall to wall, then the furniture goes in. No loose boxes stacked on your couch.
Burnaby is really two moving cities wearing one name. Along the SkyTrain lines it's Metro Vancouver's fastest-growing forest of condo towers; up the hill around Deer Lake it's quiet detached streets that haven't changed much in forty years. We move people through both, and the jobs could not be more different.
Tower moves: Metrotown, Brentwood, and the SkyTrain corridor
Most Burnaby moves we do start or end in a high-rise near an Expo or Millennium Line station: Metrotown, Brentwood, Gilmore, Lougheed. These buildings run on rules, and the move goes exactly as well as your paperwork does.
Elevator bookings. Almost every tower requires you to reserve the service elevator, usually through the building manager or concierge, often days in advance. Windows are commonly two or three hours. Book yours as soon as you have a date; we'll tell you how long your move actually needs.
Insurance certificates. Many stratas want a certificate of insurance from the moving company before they'll confirm the elevator. We issue these routinely; just give us the strata's name and we'll send it ahead.
Loading bays, not streets. Newer Brentwood and Metrotown towers have proper loading bays with height limits. We check clearance for the truck before move day so nobody discovers a 2.4 m bar the hard way.
Move-in fees and deposits. Lots of Burnaby buildings charge a move fee or refundable deposit. That's between you and the strata, but we'll flag it so it doesn't surprise you.
A two-hour elevator window is workable when the crew stages properly: everything wrapped and lined up in the lobby before the clock starts, then a steady rotation. That staging discipline is most of what separates a smooth tower move from a stressful one.
The detached side: Deer Lake, Buckingham, Capitol Hill
South and east of the towers, Burnaby is still a city of big lots and older houses. Deer Lake and Buckingham Heights moves come with full basements, garden equipment, and thirty years of accumulation; Capitol Hill adds a proper slope and streets where a tandem-axle truck needs a thought-out parking plan. These moves are less about elevators and more about honest inventory: the flat rate works because we scope what's actually in the house, including the crawl space you forgot about.
Timing a Burnaby move
Kingsway and Hastings both crawl at rush hour, and moves that cross town mid-afternoon lose real time to them. Where we can, we schedule Burnaby moves to load in the morning and roll between locations before the school-run traffic builds. If you're moving along the SkyTrain corridor, morning elevator slots also tend to be easier to get than the coveted 10 a.m. Saturday window.

Burnaby questions
Asked before booking in Burnaby.
Do you handle elevator bookings in Metrotown and Brentwood towers?
We can't book the elevator for you (buildings only take bookings from residents), but we tell you exactly what to ask your building manager for, how long a window your move actually needs, and we schedule the crew around the slot you get. If your building needs a certificate of insurance made out to the strata, we send it over before move day.
My Burnaby building only gives two-hour elevator windows. Is that enough?
Often, yes, if the crew is staged for it. We pre-carry everything to the elevator lobby on your floor before the window opens, then run the elevator flat out. For bigger homes we'll tell you honestly to book two windows or a longer slot rather than gamble.
Can you move me between two Burnaby towers on the same day?
Yes, and it's one of the most common moves we do here. The trick is sequencing the two elevator bookings with a realistic drive and load buffer between them. Tell us both buildings when you get your quote and we'll plan the timing so you're not paying a crew to wait in a loading bay.
Do you move houses in Deer Lake and Buckingham Heights too, or just condos?
Both. The detached side of Burnaby is a different job: bigger inventories, garages and crawl spaces, long carries down sloped driveways. Your flat rate is scoped to your actual house and access, not a condo checklist.
Is a move within Burnaby cheaper than moving into Vancouver?
Usually, yes. Distance is one of the things that sets your flat rate, and a Metrotown-to-Brentwood hop is a short haul. You'll see the exact number in writing before you book, and it doesn't change on move day.
